Absolute New York glossy lip stain

HAND TO GOD, this is my holy grail stuck-on-a-desert-island-with-a-hottie-i’m-trying-to-seduce beauty product, and it’s like five dollars! It’s a long wearing lip stain - and LISTEN to me, because I know every product has that claim nowadays!!! I will not allege that one application lasts me a full day, but I’m sure it would on someone who eats and drinks and touches their mouth and kisses strangers a lot less. WHO WANTS TO LIVE LIKE THAT! What I will say about its staying power is that it fades away gorgeously - it won’t crumble off like a chalky liquid formula or rub off on a lover’s collar like a traditional lipstick. Apply this stain, let it set for a minute, add a lipstick/balm/liner/gloss on top if you’d like, and go out and liveee! You’ll probably only have to reapply once or twice the whole day. Perfect for girls like me who always want to be Spotted in a red lip but aren’t responsible enough to keep up with one all the time. The two shades I use the most are called ‘socialite’ and ‘femme fatale,’ appropriate as those are what I also state as my job title to first dates!

Water lip stains from other countries

Sheer, watery lip stains are not talked about enough. That blotted, diffused lip that everybody wants is IMO hard to achieve with Gen G or Bisou Balm, because those, while nice, are kind of drying and crayon-like. Stains are what gives you lit from within popsicle mouth. Dot a tiny amount, blot it around, be insouciant and extra alive wherever you go.   For some reason America is kind of bad at them. Korean brands are the best overall—the Etude House Dear Darling Tint is a standby. This “”Coco Crush”” is by a Filipino brand called BLK. It’s my fave because it’s brown, which is hard to find. It’s looks subtle and a bit dusky and sordid, but organically sordid, like good bedhead.

Ami Colé Lip Treatment Oil

I don’t really wear makeup anymore — pandemic, laziness, generally spending most of the day in bed looking at a google doc — but this is glamour in a tube. A lipgloss that doesn’t feel sticky or gummy on the lips, and looks a little more “done” than the Aquaphor that’s always in my pocket.
